MerchantCircle Named to JMP Securities "100 Best Privately Held Internet Companies" List

We were very flattered to learn recently that we were included in the inaugural edition of JMP Securities' The 100 Best Privately Held Internet Companies. A vertible who's who of the Web 2.0 landscape, the list includes industry heavyweights like Facebook, Demand Media, Linked In and Zynga from various sectors including e-commerce, digital media, social media and games. The 2010 "Hot 100" has companies at all stages of growth and maturity acknowledging the youth of the sector. Within the report, JMP identifies the two major trends it sees emerging in the coming years with those being social media and its related ecosystem and data/monetization.

It's humbling for a small company of less than 30 people to be recognized along with some of the most recognizable names in the industry as a company also leading in innovation and development. We're so grateful that the work we've done to help over 1 million small businesses market themselves is being viewed as such a successful endeavor.
